In the course of regular store maintenance, we discovered our credit/debit card readers at the self-check lanes ONLY in 20 stores (listed below) had been tampered with. Steps were taken immediately to remove the tampered card readers in the affected stores, as well as enhance security to every credit/debit card reader in all 234 stores in our company. We are not aware nor have we been notified of any reports that customer accounts were compromised.

As a precaution, we recommend our customers who used a self check-out lane in the affected stores verify and monitor all credit/debit accounts with their financial institution to ensure everything is in order. For more information, we suggest you visit the Web site of the CaliforniaOffice of Privacy Protection at www.privacy.ca.gov or the Federal Trade Commission at www.consumer.gov/idtheft.

Lucky Supermarkets sincerely regrets any inconvenience or concern this Consumer Notice may have caused you. Your confidence in our company and in your store is very important to us. We take seriously our responsibility to always keep our customers informed of any issues important to them.
